Synthetic Biology Strategies and Tools to Modulate Photosynthesis in Microbes.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The utilization of photosynthetic microbes, such as cyanobacteria and microalgae, offers sustainable solutions to addressing global resource shortages and pollution. While these microorganisms have demonstrated significant potential in biomanufacturing, their industrial application is limited by suboptimal photosynthetic efficiency. Synthetic biology integrates molecular biology, systems biology, and engineering principles to provide a powerful tool for elucidating photosynthetic mechanisms and rationally optimizing photosynthetic platforms. This review summarizes recent advancements in regulating photosynthesis in cyanobacteria and microalgae via synthetic biology, focusing on strategies to enhance light energy absorption, optimize electron transport chains, and improve carbon assimilation. Furthermore, we discuss key challenges in translating these genetic modifications to large-scale bioproduction, highlighting specific bottlenecks in strain stability, metabolic burden, and process scalability. Finally, we propose potential solutions, such as AI-assisted metabolic engineering, synthetic microbial consortia, and next-generation photobioreactor designs, to overcome these limitations. Overall, while synthetic biology holds great promise for enhancing photosynthetic efficiency in cyanobacteria and microalgae, further research is needed to refine genetic strategies and develop scalable production systems.
